The pleasant Suffolk village of Kedington is most notable for its beautiful medieval church, St Peter and St Paul. Built on the site of a Roman villa, the church dates from the late 13th century. English poet John Betjeman named it as 'a village Westminster Abbey.' The village is on the route of the Stour Valley Path long-distance trail. Walkers can refuel at the Barnardiston Arms pub, which serves good food. There is no formal accommodation in the village. A short walk to the east is the Plough Inn, which has rooms.

This village is supposed to have various pubs and cafes to stop at. In fact on a sunny Saturday afternoon in May this was the only place open - so they should be on Komoot as a reliable stop.
